Chapter 74 Empress Cao

Seeing Nishang's expression relaxed, Nianlu turned on the curious baby mode, and immediately asked, "Sister-in-law Huang, what do you mean by touching porcelain?"

Nishang scratched the tip of Nianlu's nose, turned around and walked first, and Nianlu pouted to keep up.Seeing that Nianlu followed, Nishang said: "Pengci means that the carriage you are driving is going well, and suddenly someone saw your carriage coming and lay down in front of your carriage and insisted that it was you." If you hit her, you will lose money."

Nian Lu rolled her eyes after hearing this, and analyzed: "So just now the emperor's wife said that Concubine Ning was deliberately picking on you, right?" Nishang nodded after hearing the trace.Nian Lu immediately laughed.The two just walked all the way and laughed all the way back to the Longevity Hall.

The old queen mother heard the laughter of the two.Seeing that the Empress Dowager was in a good mood, the nurse next to her said: "Empress Dowager, the princess was bored a few days ago, but recently she and the concubine get along very well, and you can hear their laughter every day. Feel happy."

The queen mother nodded and said: "Shang'er is a sensible girl, and I can rest assured that Lu'er follows her. The medicinal meals sent by the two of them these days are also delicious. It's hard for their filial piety. You go and take the emperor's food from last year." Bring me the pair of emerald hairpins you sent." The mammy took the order and withdrew.

Nishang saw the Queen Mother waving to the two of them, and the two immediately walked forward. As soon as Nian Lu found a stool to sit down, the Queen Mother asked, "What are you two laughing at? You are so happy." Nian Lu listened When the queen mother asked, she told the queen mother what happened today, and Nishang didn't stop her, but went around behind the queen mother and held her shoulders.

While enjoying the massage, the Queen Mother listened to Nian Lu talking about how she met Ning Zixi today.The queen mother also laughed out loud when she heard Nianlu's explanation of Pengci, and then looked back at Nishang as if she felt sorry for Nishang and was wronged, and said: "Don't be afraid, if someone in the palace bullies you, you can tell the emperor's grandmother, Grandma has your back."

When Nishang heard that the queen mother treated her so kindly, she quickly bowed down, and said respectfully: "Shang'er thanked the emperor's grandmother." Nishang's tone was trembling, but she was actually moved by the queen mother's kindness to her, and she heard it in the queen mother's ears. Here, it seems that Nishang has been wronged.

After a while, Mammy brought up a box. The box was made of wood and looked very delicate from a distance.Nishang and Nianlu looked at the box and then turned to look at Tianhou for no reason.The Empress Dowager looked at the two of them lovingly and said, "This is a pair of jadeite hairpins. Seeing that the two of you get along well, the imperial grandmother will reward you with one for each of you?"

After hearing this, the two immediately knelt down and thanked each other.Nian Lu couldn't wait to take the box and opened it.It was a pair of emerald green jadeite, which was priceless at first glance.Nishang was also attracted by the pure color, and couldn't help approaching. Before Nishang touched the hairpin, Nianlu had already mischievously inserted the hairpin into Nishang's bun.

The queen mother saw that the little fair face of Nishang was even more beautiful and refined against the emerald green, so she couldn't help but nodded.Seeing everyone looking at her, Nishang blushed for a moment.

When Emperor Dongli and Ning Zixi came, the Queen Mother, Nishang and Nianlu were finishing their meals.Emperor Dongli paid homage to the queen mother and sat down, and Ning Zixi also bowed down with him, but the queen mother refused to give her a seat for a long time. In the end, emperor Dongli asked her to stand up and sit beside him.Nianlu looked at Nishang and gave her a disdainful glance at Ning Zixi. Nishang looked at Nianlu's appearance, secretly smiled and held back.

As soon as she was seated, tears welled up in Ning Zixi's eyes, and she bent over and rubbed her ankles.Seeing his concubine's sudden appearance, Emperor Dongli couldn't help asking with concern: "Xi'er, what's wrong with you? You were fine just now."

Nian Lu pursed her lips angrily and said, "Of course she was fine just now. The one who came here specially to touch porcelain has to have something to do now." As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the Longevity Hall couldn't help laughing.Only Donglihuang and Ning Zixi gritted their teeth inexplicably.

"Pengci? It's a novel vocabulary. Can Lu'er explain it to Father?" Donglihuang asked curiously after hearing the latest vocabulary from his youngest daughter and everyone's reaction in the Longevity Palace.

Nian Lu got up slowly, walked to Dong Lihuang's side, burrowed into his arms and said, "Father, are you not ashamed to ask?"

Donglihuang looked helplessly at his daughter's mischievous appearance, then pinched Nianlu's little nose and said, "That's right."

Nian Lu frowned, dissatisfied: "Let go of me, I'll tell you."

Escaping from the clutches of Emperor Dongli, Nian Lu explained seriously: "Peng Ci deliberately fell in front of someone's carriage and then the villain first sued and claimed compensation from him." After speaking concisely and clearly, she glanced thoughtfully The fake Ning Zixi.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Majesty saw the princess and Concubine Chang releasing paper kites today, she thought it was interesting, so she walked in to have a look, but she didn't want to be bumped into by Concubine Shang on purpose." The maid beside Ning Zixi saw Nianlu pointing , immediately knelt down and explained.

Emperor Dongli looked at Nishang standing beside the queen mother, raised his brows and said, "You mean that concubine Shang bumped into Xi'er on purpose?" Donglihuang's tone was full of inquiry.

Ning Zixi knew that today's matter should not be pursued any longer, so she said, "Your Majesty, don't let the servant girl gossip about her tongue. The concubine just tripped over the uneven lawn."

"Hahaha, that makes sense. Since the lawn tripped and injured my concubine, let's shovel the lawn and plant trees." Dong Lihuang first laughed, and then inadvertently announced the death penalty of the lawn .

Nishang couldn't help sighing when he heard Donglihuang's casual appearance, this absolute power is so cool, he can do whatever he wants.The queen mother looked at Nishang at this time, seeing that she didn't look flustered at all, and remembered Nan'er's words that day.I always thought Nan'er made it up.Seeing that the emperor is so protective today, I am really a little suspicious.

Nian Lu glanced provocatively at the dazed Ning Zixi, showing off like a child who got his favorite toy.Ning Zixi didn't expect it either.Ever since she entered the palace as a concubine, she has almost been favored by the wind and the rain, and it can even be said that she has been favored every day.On the surface today, the emperor was pampering himself, but the few people who knew the truth also understood that the emperor was clearly protecting the side concubine secretly.

Ning Zixi looked suspiciously at Nishang, who didn't know much about it. This side concubine was just a commoner, nothing special.I didn't want to argue with her, I just wanted to vent my anger.But at this time, everyone was overwhelmingly helping her, which was beyond comprehension.

The queen mother was also puzzled. It was the first time for the emperor to see Shang'er. Although she liked Shang'er very much and didn't want her to be punished, Huang'er's behavior today was strange.

Emperor Dongli ate his dinner as if no one else was around, and when everyone saw the emperor like this, they all sat down and ate their meal quietly.After the meal, the emperor asked some questions about the Empress Dowager's health. Seeing that the Empress Dowager's health has improved recently, he said: "When the mother and concubine recover, let the queen assist the mother and concubine to discuss the affairs of the meeting with the ladies of the official family."

The queen mother nodded after hearing this, looked at the emperor and said: "The Ai family also has this intention." The emperor stayed for about half an hour, chatted with the queen mother about some household matters, saw that Ning Zixi was a little bored, and took his leave .They left for a while, and the queen mother stared at the backs of the two in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.Seeing this scene, Nishang and Nianlu didn't bother, and quietly left.

At night, the two retreated and went to rest separately.Seeing that the two had retreated, the queen mother whispered to the nanny to check the origin of the neon clothes.After returning to the room, Nishang carefully inspected her human skin mask, seeing that there were no flaws, she was also puzzled, why the emperor was so tolerant of herself today.She had already thought about it, and if she was punished, she would take out the gold medal for avoiding death, and she was unscathed.After thinking about it for a while, there was no result, so I fell asleep.

Nishang got up early in the morning of the second day. The queen mother is now used to being served by Nishang. Every day, Nishang will get up early to prepare different meals for the queen mother, and then groom her.

Today is a little different.As soon as Nishang arrived outside the Empress Dowager's door, she was stopped by the nanny, who reminded softly: "The empress is here." The people inside the door also heard the movement, but they didn't mention letting Nishang in, so Nishang waited respectfully. the door.

After a while, a woman in light-colored clothes came out with the support of the Queen Mother. The woman was very young, and her exact age could not be seen.But Nishang heard that the queen is about the same age as the emperor, so the queen should be around thirty, but it can't be seen at all on the rosy white face.

The queen's makeup today is not as luxurious and solemn as she saw that day, nor is it as enchanting and charming as other women in the palace. The simple and elegant headdress and light-colored clothing are matched like the young woman next door.Beautiful yet generous, elegant yet dignified, it's amazing.

When the queen went out and saw Nishang who had been waiting for a long time, she smiled friendlyly before Nishang saluted.Whether it was the queen's help last time or the queen's friendliness this time, Nishang felt very kind.Nishang is subconsciously willing to contact the queen.

The queen mother was very satisfied to see Nishang obediently waiting at the door with the breakfast, she turned her head and said to the queen: "The medicinal food prepared by Chang'er is very delicious, the queen will follow Ai's family to have a bite too."

"The medicated diet is a novelty. My daughter-in-law is very grateful to the concubine mother." The queen bowed and answered politely.

Seeing the queen's respectful appearance, Nishang couldn't help feeling pitiful.The countless beauties in the harem tried their best to curry favor with the emperor.The queen must be very helpless in it.I am afraid that there will be no such people who only take one scoop for three thousand drownings, as if I am also in this ancient society with three wives and four concubines, and I have long forgotten the promise I made myself a couple for the rest of my life.

The flickering sadness in Nishang's eyes was captured by the queen, who smiled wryly, saying that they are also fallen people in the world.

Nishang put the meal in his hand on the table before the queen mother and queen.Today's breakfast is as simple as the previous few days, without many tricks, but it is still very attentive.Nishang used all kinds of grains, miscellaneous grains and beans to cook eight-treasure porridge. The pumpkin cake was wrapped with fresh red bean paste, and the side dish was pickled radish with red pepper and white vinegar.

The queen mother sat down with satisfaction and began to use it gracefully, but the queen was not used to such a simple breakfast, just like the first time Nishang saw the queen mother's breakfast was so rich, the queen today is not used to such a monotonous breakfast breakfast.But seeing that the Queen Mother was eating with gusto, she didn't dare to say much, so she sat down and began to use it.
